Zones becomes the democratic candi-
date he will probably have Judge
Turner as his competitor.
Senator Mitchell is quoted as say
ing that he thinks the chances for
admission to statehood are good for
Washington and Dakota. We hope
he may be venturing a lucky guess
and yet we seriously dOnbt it. The
time for admission will be a yoar
from this winter when the dominant
party will desire the credit of having
admitted the new territories, no mat
ter how the national election NAV 60.
The Chehalis Nugget speaks of ex-
President Hayes as 'the biggest fraud
that ever escaped hanging" When
it is remembered that ex-President
Hayes did more to create harmony
and good Will between the North and
the South than any other man ever
did, and that he gave the country a
good, pure, peaceful administration,
and absolutely refused any renomin-
alton it may safely he inferred that
the Nugget needs dose of salts.
The aged jeff" knows how to stir
the sympathy OF his old co-rebels.
In Macon, at the review of the Con-
foderate veterans, he very passionate
ly kissed tattered rebel flag, when,
10! every mothers son of them had to
weep and passionately kiss the tat
tered fragments too. Some very
careful men sometimes say that the
war closed just little too soon. Any
how, We would very much rather see
jefferson ID. kiss the stars and stripes
A very serious split has occurred
in the Knights of Labor organization
since the adjournment of the Nation
al Assembly The Anarchist mem
bers are intensely hostile at Powder
ly for his strong words in regard to
the relation of the order to anarchy.

der stronger and purer for their ex-
odus

is the terminus of seren trdnsconfi-
mental railroads" We have heard
Of q fellow who avered that he saw a
hundred wildcats in a certain piece of
woods. When questioned closely, he

then ten, then five, then one, and
when this was questioned he indig-
nantly replied that he had heard a

AMI that he would not fall another
eat if they did tease the life ont of
him. Fall eat or two, Friend r.
It's only q cracking in the brush.
The Tacoma Ledger with its usual
faeetious smile, prints the call of
twelve prominent laymen of the
Methodist Church for an Educational
Convention. We are very thankful
indeed to the Ledger No doubt its
complimentary remarks will be APP
preciated by the laymen of that great
church throughout the territory. OF
course Brother Radebaugh is courte-
ous 4! only he is in position to snub
the Methodists and very mildly uses
his privilege Tacoma laymen as well
ss others are invited to participate in
the convention, but the Ledger seems
to take it for granted that the result
will be disastrous 20 T6cOma's selfish
policy-and so, treats the whole
thing in exempliication of its mean
est and most supercilious sneers.
